Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Project Director Jobs at DaVita Jobs
Translate clinical ops experience into DaVita's language
DaVita's Project Directors work at the intersection of healthcare operations and program delivery. Frame your resume around outcomes like dialysis center builds, EMR rollouts, or patient workflow improvements, not generic project management deliverables.
Verify your PMP aligns with posted requirements
DaVita frequently lists PMP certification or equivalent credentials for Project Director roles. If yours was issued outside the U.S., gather documentation from PMI confirming international equivalency before you apply, so HR doesn't flag it during screening.
Target DaVita's capital projects and development pipeline
DaVita regularly expands its clinic network through acquisitions and new builds. Roles tied to real estate development or facility expansion often have longer lead times, giving you more runway to initiate sponsorship paperwork before a hard start date.
Clarify OPT STEM extension eligibility early in negotiations
If you're on F-1 OPT, confirm whether the Project Director role falls under a STEM-designated SOC code before accepting an offer. DaVita is E-Verify enrolled, which is a prerequisite for the 24-month STEM extension that buys time before H-1B filing.
Time your H-1B registration around DaVita's hiring cycles
USCIS opens H-1B registration in March each year, and DaVita typically ramps hiring in Q1 ahead of summer clinic expansions. Starting conversations with recruiting in January or February gives your employer-side paperwork time to align with the registration window.
Use Migrate Mate to filter DaVita Project Director openings by visa type
Not every open Project Director role at DaVita is tied to active sponsorship. Use Migrate Mate to filter specifically for positions where sponsorship is confirmed, so you're spending time on applications that match your immigration situation.

Find Project Director at DaVita JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does DaVita sponsor H-1B visas for Project Directors?
Yes, DaVita sponsors H-1B visas for Project Director roles. The company is an established healthcare employer with a consistent pattern of filing H-1B petitions for professional and management-level positions. If you're targeting a specific opening, confirm sponsorship availability with the recruiter early, since not every posted role has active sponsorship attached.
Which visa types does DaVita commonly sponsor for Project Director roles?
DaVita sponsors H-1B visas for most Project Director hires requiring nonimmigrant work authorization. The company also supports F-1 OPT and CPT for candidates still in their authorization window, TN status for Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying management categories, and immigrant visa pathways including EB-2 and EB-3 for longer-tenured employees pursuing permanent residence.
What qualifications does DaVita expect for a sponsored Project Director?
DaVita typically requires a bachelor's degree in a relevant field such as healthcare administration, engineering, or business, along with substantial project management experience in a healthcare or clinical operations environment. PMP certification is commonly listed. Roles tied to facility development or clinical program expansion may also require familiarity with regulatory compliance and capital budgeting in a healthcare setting.
How do I apply for Project Director jobs at DaVita?
You can apply directly through DaVita's careers portal or find and filter open Project Director positions on Migrate Mate, which surfaces roles where visa sponsorship is confirmed. Before applying, tailor your application to the specific program area, whether that's kidney care operations, facility development, or clinical quality, and flag your visa status in your cover note so recruiters can route your file appropriately.
How do I plan my timeline if DaVita offers me a Project Director role requiring H-1B sponsorship?
USCIS opens H-1B registration each March for an October 1 start date. If you receive an offer outside that window, DaVita may bridge your employment using OPT, a TN, or another available status while your H-1B petition is pending. Build at least six to eight months of lead time into your job search if you're targeting an H-1B-dependent start, and confirm with DaVita's HR team which bridging options they support.
